Bar Sugar Cookies

Took 30 min to make and then a quick frosting. 

3/4 cup of soft butter
1/2 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of powdered sugar
2 1/4 cup of flour
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Cream together butter and both sugars in a mixer on a medium speed until fluffy.

Add in eggs and vanilla

Add in salt and baking powder and thoroughly mix into batter. Then slowly add in flour until completely incorporated.

Bake at 375 for a 13-15 min.  It won't change color but it should be set in the middle. Be sure to let it cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:
2 tablespoons of milk
5 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of vanilla
food coloring and sprinkles (optional)

Whisk together butter and vanilla until creamy and fluffy.

Slowly add in powdered sugar and milk

Add in food coloring to desired color.  I like bright colors so I used a lot.

Smooth frosting across the pan. I plopped the contents of the bowl onto the bars and then smoothed it out with a rubber spatula.  Then top with sprinkles.
